Dave Taylor’s unpublished cover for ‘Batman: Death by Design’

He might have a common name, but he’s got an uncommon talent. British artist Dave Taylor is working on his childhood hero Judge Dredd for 2000AD, and on his blog he recently revealed a great unpublished cover he had in mind for Batman: Death by Design, the 2012 graphic novel he collaborated on with Chip Kidd called Batman: Death by Design. The piece, which Taylor calls a “feel sample,” designed to convey how the book might look.

The final cover featured a more marketing-friendly headshot of Batman, but this unpublished gem deserves to be seen.
